Ecksbawks reprise

Spent the weekend in Vegas, I wonder how many Chippendales had ambitions of being UFC fighters then decided getting punched in the face a lot wasn’t all that appealing after they finished all that bulking up.

Commander probably only has any consoles at all so his kids can play Spongebob or watch netflix or whatever it is toddlers do with XBoxes.

Gonna point people over to the Oozengard kickstarter while I’m here, it’s a super cute little mobile zombie game, and it has my house in it! that means if it gets made you can go loot my family’s stuff or build a secret base in our living room or whatever it is you do with houses in the game!
Look how crazy cute that is, it has our house lizard and everything.

You DO know that there is no such thing as a touch-sensitive laptop touchpad, and that heat-sensitive laptop touchpads aren’t made nearly as often nowadays, and that Wandererbluefox was most likely using the word “conductive” to refer to electricity and not thermal conductivity, because all *useful* touchpads in the world utilize surface capacitance of the things that “touch” them because that is the way to achieve optimal precision, right?

You know that there are such things as resistive touchpads, right? And that resistive touchpads are actually far more precise than capacitive touchpads, right? You also know that you probably use those resistive touchpads on a regular basis, right?

Any time you sign for a package from UPS or FedEx, any time you scribble your signature on the screen at a store register, and any time you play a Nintendo DS(regardless of version) you’re using a resistive touchscreen. Up until recently pretty much anything that you ever used with a stylus was a resistive touchscreen. Cell phones, PDAs, etc, all used them for a long time. Even the first tablet PCs used them.

Not gonna lie, it looks more like http://memegenerator.net/Y-U-No because of the hands, and no one would think of the xbox 360 kid face in context because that face is supposed to be *happy*. Even if it just kind of looks like the kid’s a douchecanoe.

indeed…
I wonder if Commander BA. plays Skyrim, or dare I say it…
MINECRAFT?! That-would-be-SOOOOOOOOOO-KICK-ASS!!!!!!!!!!
ugh, the Yu-Gi-Oh manga is frickin’ HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!
I cant believe I even tried to read it…..
*shudders at the thought of Yugi’s older version*

The Commander only has one XBox. If he let Jared know about it, before he had given Jared the other XBox, then Jared would have taken over his and not let the Commander play on it. It’s not about gamertags; it’s about sharing the one machine.

And to truly be a hit with your neighbors, don’t forget to install the petrol-filled ditch with optional automatic starter. Bonus points if you have an animatronic pony that breathes flames as an auto-starter.

You know, Jared reminds me so much of my friend, I can’t help but voice him in my friends voice. Seriously! They both love Pokemon and video games, they’re both just a little weird, they even look the same! (Beanie cap, long, messy hair, stubbly chin, kinda skinny, etc.)
The only difference is that my friend has a girlfriend.

Note to coelasquid: If you give Jared a girlfriend that’s as kooky and fun as he is, I’m going to find you and stop your sick little game of stalking my friend.

question for ya coelasquid! i know you’ve used the xb360 kid reference with Jared before; i was just wondering – was that particular kid was actually a reference you had in mind when creating Jared in the first place?

I find it odd that no one has commented on the fact that Jared–JARED, of all people–has just had a window in his life where he was less than enthusiastic about video games. If you’ve ever put the controller down and done other things in the meantime not because you couldn’t play, but because you didn’t want to, then imagine–IMAGINE, I say–what Jared might be doing in his spare time now that his thoughts are not immediately on games. Sure, he’ll probably fall back into his habit eventually when something game-related motivates him again, but imagine all the productive things Jared could be doing with an XBox-free mind. It’s… scary.
